a_o honourable_a way_n take_v it_o in_o these_o three_o thing_n 1._o he_o get_v honour_n to_o himself_o exod._n 14._o 17_o 18._o by_o this_o he_o declare_v himself_o to_o be_v above_o all_o god_n and_o above_o all_o great_a one_o of_o the_o earth_n god_n shall_v never_o have_v do_v this_o work_n if_o the_o egyptian_n and_o all_o their_o idol_n can_v have_v hinder_v it_o you_o know_v what_o a_o fierce_a onset_n they_o make_v upon_o israel_n at_o the_o red-sea_n to_o bring_v they_o back_o again_o but_o instead_o of_o that_o they_o never_o go_v back_o again_o themselves_o the_o water_n cover_v

have_v have_v many_o promise_n of_o deliverance_n which_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o anguish_n of_o their_o spirit_n in_o their_o bondage_n they_o can_v not_o tell_v how_o to_o believe_v they_o call_v the_o faithfulness_n and_o truth_n of_o god_n into_o question_n as_o we_o be_v too_o ready_a to_o do_v when_o we_o be_v in_o great_a strait_n instead_o of_o trust_v in_o god_n firm_o as_o they_o shall_v have_v do_v when_o once_o they_o have_v a_o word_n from_o god_n what_o depth_n of_o distress_n soever_o they_o be_v in_o they_o do_v not_o rely_v up-god_n promise_n exod._n 6._o 6_o 7_o 8_o 9_o but_o when_o god_n deliver_v they_o he_o honour_v his_o promise_n for_o all_o that_o he_o show_v that_o he_o do_v remember_v it_o by_o the_o perform_n of_o it_o exod._n 12._o 41._o and_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o four_o hundred_o and_o thirty_o year_n even_o the_o selfsame_a day_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o all_o the_o host_n of_o the_o lord_n go_v out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n you_o must_v know_v that_o this_o place_n look_v back_o chief_o to_o the_o promise_n that_o god_n make_v to_o abraham_n that_o though_o his_o seed_n shall_v be_v afflict_v in_o egypt_n yet_o he_o will_v bring_v they_o out_o after_o such_o a_o time_n gen._n 15._o 13_o 14._o now_o here_o in_o this_o 12_o of_o exod._n you_o see_v how_o god_n honour_v his_o promise_n he_o keep_v his_o word_n to_o the_o very_a day_n obj._n but_o how_o do_v god_n honour_v his_o promise_n and_o how_o be_v they_o deliver_v the_o selfsame_a day_n when_o as_o in_o that_o place_n of_o genesis_n there_o be_v just_a four_o hundred_o year_n speak_v of_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v in_o egypt_n and_o in_o the_o other_o of_o exodus_fw-la it_o be_v four_o hundred_o and_o thirty_o year_n it_o seem_v therefore_o that_o god_n fail_v of_o his_o promise_n thirty_o year_n ans_fw-fr no_o god_n forbid_v that_o we_o shall_v think_v so_o heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v pass_v away_o but_o one_o tittle_n of_o his_o word_n shall_v not_o perish_v but_o you_o must_v know_v that_o there_o may_v be_v two_o reason_n why_o the_o thirty_o year_n be_v not_o mention_v in_o the_o promise_n to_o abraham_n 1._o because_o it_o be_v not_o a_o unusual_a thing_n among_o we_o to_o swallow_v up_o a_o lesser_a number_n in_o a_o great_a as_o if_o a_o man_n ask_v you_o how_o old_a you_o be_v you_o say_v so_o many_o year_n and_o though_o there_o be_v some_o odd_a week_n or_o month_n you_o omit_v they_o put_v the_o great_a number_n for_o all_o so_o the_o thirty_o year_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o the_o four_o hundred_o as_o the_o text_n in_o exodus_fw-la with_o which_o the_o other_o be_v to_o be_v compare_v do_v show_v 2._o i_o suppose_v the_o lord_n may_v of_o purpose_n
